Both Contepomi and Leguizamon were conspicuous in their absence in 2009, with the fly-half out with a cruciate ligament injury in his left knee. Leguizamon missed last year's tour, when the Pumas slipped to defeat against England and Wales before beating Scotland at Murrayfield.

"This is my first time in Tucuman and I've felt the people's love since we arrived at the airport," Lobbe said. "We are anxiously looking forward to the Scotland match on Saturday. We've prepared ourselves very well in the physical aspects and worked a lot on technical points. I think we are in good form and we'll get to the match day in good condition."
